&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Biography/History: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Samson Krogness (1830-1894) was a Norwegian-born priest, teacher, editor, and author. Krogness studied theology from 1862 to 1866. In 1866, he emigrated to America and was ordained the same year. Krogness was Secretary of the Norwegian Augustana Synod from 1870 to 1874, and from 1876 to 1882; was twice a member of its Board of Education and served on the Israel Mission Central Committee from 1884 to 1892.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;He founded and edited "Almueskoletidende" (1861-1866). He was an able writer and translator, and at various times served as editor of "Missionsvennen," "Budbæreren," "Den Norske Lutheraner," "Ebenezer," and Luthersk Kirketidende. He also edited reports and yearbooks for the church. His 8,000-volume library and his manuscript dealing with the history of the Norwegian Lutheran church in the United States were destroyed by fire in 1879.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Biography/History: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Samson Krogness (1830-1894) was a Norwegian-born priest, teacher, editor, and author. Krogness studied theology from 1862 to 1866. In 1866, he emigrated to America and was ordained the same year. Krogness was Secretary of the Norwegian Augustana Synod from 1870 to 1874, and from 1876 to 1882; was twice a member of its Board of Education and served on the Israel Mission Central Committee from 1884 to 1892.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;He founded and edited "Almueskoletidende" (1861-1866). He was an able writer and translator, and at various times served as editor of "Missionsvennen," "Budbæreren," "Den Norske Lutheraner," "Ebenezer," and Luthersk Kirketidende. He also edited reports and yearbooks for the church. His 8,000-volume library and his manuscript dealing with the history of the Norwegian Lutheran church in the United States were destroyed by fire in 1879.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scope and Content: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:400;"&gt;Correspondence (4 volumes of copybooks), 3 volumes of ministerial records, a scrapbook, a diary, notes, and manuscripts of a Lutheran clergyman, born and educated in Norway, who emigrated to the United States in 1866.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
